Making plans for the Halloween Carnival

This year, the carnival will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 31, 4-6 p.m. at the Ross Aragon Community Center.

Food will be provided by the Kiwanis Club.

The community center is asking local businesses, individuals and groups for donations and is seeking volunteers to help with the carnival. You can donate your time, candy, games, baked goods and, of course, cash. Donations are always welcome and appreciated by both the staff at the community center and and by the members of the community who attend the event.

Please contact the Ross Aragon Community Center at 264-4152 if you have any questions or would like to sign up to volunteer.

Hoopsters. Tuesdays and Thursdays, 8-9 a.m. Warren and the guys are waiting for you to come out and play. They will play with just about anyone. The Hoopsters are a great group of guys getting out there twice a week for a good game of b-ball.

Belly dancing. A pleasant aerobic exercise, dancing brings well-known benefits, such as reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, weight control and more. Belly dance helps to develop muscle control and isolation, graceful arms and body conditioning from head to toe.
